Life Lately

Life lately has been busy on the weekends and rainy during the week. This week we have had rainy days almost all week. On Monday after swim class I took the kids to a free "Go Ask Mom" event here in Raleigh. There were a bunch of activities that were perfect for toddlers to explore. They had a fire truck and ambulance that the kids could get on, a free toddler music class to take part in, crafts, and sports equipment to play with from Dick's Sporting Goods.

It was great because it was practically the only morning this week that has been sunny! My sister also met us there to hang out with the kids. Elena loved exploring the ambulance and Ty liked playing with the wiffle ball and rackets with his aunt.

Tuesday and Wednesday mornings we had play dates with our friends at their houses since it was so wet outside. The kids have been bonkers this week, so it was nice to have some time to get them together to burn some energy!

The weather has made me want to be in the kitchen cooking comfort food.  So far I've made Ree Drummond's Homemade macaroni and cheese, crock pot buffalo chicken wraps, and I admit we've taken a trip to Duck Donuts for half a dozen treats!

Evenings in our house have been lovely because Justin has been getting home ON TIME all week! YIPPEE!

Monday I got to have a girl's night out at Relish, one of my favorite Raleigh restaurants.  Of course I had to have the homemade donuts with the chocolate and raspberry sauce!

Tuesday we spent time with the kids playing inside and doing puzzles. Ty is getting pretty good at them!

Last night we started House of Cards on Netflix.  We haven't watched a show together on Netflix in a while so  I was excited to start a new one with him!

The rest of our week we are taking it easy because this weekend is another jam packed weekend! I am hoping to make it to the Got To Be NC Festival at the fairgrounds if the weather permits!

That's life lately for the Schneiders. Meanwhile, baby boy is growing by the second and moving all the time. This week was the first time Justin felt him kick! I love those pregnancy milestones!
